A ship lost in the night
I was searching for information on rispiridol on the web this morning and came across a site that says Doctors say that psychiatric medications "cause" brain damage and do not help chemical imbalances.
What do you experienced parents know about this? I know the medication is helping with the ADHD. If Rispiridol helps with the agressiveness I would be thrilled. However, are we causing more damage?
http://www.qsos.ca/qspc/nfc/myth2.htmlPsychiatric drugs damage brains and bodies in many ways and "have caused the worst plague of brain damage in medical history." -- Dr. Peter Breggin, Toxic Psychiatry. (1991); David Cohen, Ph.D. "A critique of the use of neuroleptic drugs in psychiatry."
New psychiatric drugs, like Clozapine & Rispiridol, are as damaging as older neuroleptics. They can cause, not "prevent", neurological disorders like Tardive Dyskinesia (TD) and the deadly Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS).
